Manufacture by rolling silicon steel having a silicon content of 3 wt % or greater and by rolling thin sendust sheet is implemented by powder metallurgical fabrication using powder as the starting raw material, and the average crystal grain size of the sheet-form sintered body or quick-cooled steel sheet is made 300 pm or less, whereby intra-grain slip transformation occurs after slip transformation in the grain boundaries, wherefore cold rolling is rendered possible. In addition, a mixture powder wherein pure iron powder and Fe-Si powder are mixed together in a prescribed proportion is fabricated with a powder metallurgy technique, and an iron-rich phase is caused to remain in the sintered body, whereby cold rolling is possible using the plastic transformation of those crystal grains. Furthermore, when a minute amount of a non-magnetic metal element such as Ti, V, or Al, etc., is added beforehand, it becomes easy to make the iron-rich phase and silicon-rich phase enter into solid solution during annealing, crystal grain growth can be promoted, the magnetic properties of the fabricated steel sheet become roughly equivalent to those of conventional ingot material, and silicon steel sheet exhibiting outstanding magnetic properties can be fabricated.
